Early Learning Counseling
• Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Supports (PBIS)
• South Shore School is taking part in a
Response to Intervention pilot project that
has given us the opportunity to join the
“School-Wide Positive Behavior
Supports” program
• This program emphasizes the teaching
and re-teaching of routines, procedures,
and appropriate behaviors in an effort to
improve students’ behavior
Second Step
• A school-wide program to aid students in their
social emotional development
• Designed to build empathy, teach problem solving
skills, and give children the tools they need to
manage strong feelings and avoid conflicts
• Lessons are taught weekly and teachers provide
children with opportunities to practice skills
throughout the week.
• Class meetings teach skills to help children solve
problems and strengthen the sense of community
within the classroom
• Class meetings are held weekly. Additional
meetings may occur as needed
